[A] So next time your child counts using her fingers, or you see your employees spreading out information over their desks and walls, be reassured: they are not limited in their capacity to think well, nor are they handicapping their ability to do so. In fact, they are enhancing their ability to think. Your mind does not think like a computer, but it thinks with the objects (including computers) and people around you. And our capacity to think and reason well, at any given moment, depends as much on our cognitive abilities as it does on the richness—or paucity—of material things which sup-port our thinking and decision-making.
[B] Our ability to think and reason has been trained and tested in real world situations that restrict our ability to use our hands. For example, at school, children quickly learn to count "in their heads’ without using their fingers as props. The implicit assumption that underpins the practice is that truly intelligent behavior originates from the inner parts of the brain, and the brain alone. Recent research strongly challenges this assumption, showing instead that people’s thoughts, choices and insights can be transformed by physical interaction with things. In other words, thinking with your brain alone— like a computer does—is not equivalent to thinking with your brain, your eyes, and your hands—as humans frequently do. Consider a game of Scrabble: players naturally touch, move and re-arrange the tiles they receive. If thinking were simply done "in the head", what’s the purpose of these moves?
[C] To put this to the test, researchers design thinking tasks under laboratory conditions during which people can physically interact with the properties of the problem. Interactivity inevitably benefits performance. In part this is because changes in the physical environment make it easier for people to remember what information they are considering. But also dynamically changing the problem’s configuration prompts new possibilities for action, or unveils new ways of solving problems. People are more creative and more efficient when solving problems with their hands: thinking is an embodied activity embedded in a physical environment.
[D] They also applied this approach to the study of complex statistical reasoning. Previous research had found that, depending on the ease of mentally representing the statistical information presented, between 11 percent and 40 percent of people succeeded in solving these reasoning problems using just pen and paper.
[E] In fact, these moves are integral to the process of generating words. As players reconfigure the physical properties of their environment, they are not simply making it easier for them to think; they are thinking. Moves can be deliberate or serendipitous. This suggests that thinking is fundamentally relational: it unfolds along a series of physical changes in the environment that at times affects, and at times is affected by, a series of biological changes in the brain.
[F] Researchers recently applied this approach to a study of creativity and insight. While posing a problem presented with a classic pencil and paper fonnat never led to a breakthrough, those who could use physical artefacts to build a model of the problem were much more likely to reach some insight, no matter the difference between the participants’ cognitive abilities.
[G] They presented the same information on a pack of cards that reasoners were free to spread out and rearrange in any way they preferred. Not all participants fully engaged with the cards—perhaps unwilling to be judged as poor thinkers for doing so. Yet, the success rate for those who made the most of this opportunity to use the material world to boost their thinking leapt to 75 percent.
【D16】→【D17】→【D18】→【D19】→D→【D20】→A
【D20】
选项
答案
G
解析
本题位于D和A之间。D提到研究人员把某种方法运用到关于统计推理的研究中,但并未讲述应用这种方法后的研究情况。从G首句中的reasoners可知该段也是跟统计推理研究相关,与D主题一致,G讲述的正是把该方法应用到统计推理研究的具体情况和结果,与D首句构成互补和对应,且和D第二句所讲的采用传统纸笔方式的实验结果形成对比。两段在语义和逻辑上均衔接紧密,故G为本题答案。
